Director Raja Krishna Menon has revealed details on Chef’s actor
Saif Ali Khan's new-found cooking skills.
"When we started, Saif was very worried about my
expectations from him in terms of being able to chop and cook like a
masterchef. During the training that started with the basics and went all the
way to plating Michelin star dishes, Saif began to really enjoy cooking,"
Menon revealed in a statement.
From cutting and chopping vegetables and kneading dough to
actually rustling up dishes like pastas and Rotzza's (the main food item sold
on the food truck in the film), Saif has managed to do it all.
The actor trained for close to four hours every day, over a
period of a month, with Chef Himanshu and his team at the JW Marriott kitchen
here.
By the end of it, Saif was able to chop not 50 or 100 but
200 onions and garlics, every day.
"Cooking has now become a part of who he is today. Saif
discovered his inner chef through this film. I was quite content to see his
transformation from someone who has never cooked to that of a professional
chef," revealed Menon.
